– Welcome! –

Get ready for music that will have you tapping your toes and that will lift your spirits! The Saltaires chorus is back to the Christmas music scene! And we’re not easing into it, we’ve been preparing to ‘Ring In The Season’ in style with new and custom arrangements, recalling traditional songs, and sprinkling a little jazz on top! We’re celebrating 36 years of resonant chords and heartwarming a capella harmony throughout the Wasatch Front! Join us for an unforgettable evening of classic barbershop favorites and fresh, feel-good hits in the barbershop style you know and love!

We hope you enjoy the show!

A message from Steve Scott, Artistic Director

It has been a true pleasure to prepare this concert with the Saltaires, and I am deeply proud of the commitment, growth, and musical integrity the singers have shown throughout the past year. Completing my first full year as Artistic Director has been both humbling and energizing, and tonight’s performance reflects countless hours of focused rehearsal, trust-building, and shared purpose. I am sincerely grateful to the chapter’s musical and administrative leaders whose dedication behind the scenes makes ambitious projects like this possible. Finally, I extend my thanks to the families and patrons whose encouragement, generosity, and belief in this chorus allow us to sing, serve, and celebrate together, especially as we mark our first holiday concert in more than a decade. Thank you, all!
